    10 year olds can't work in this country (14 is the federal minimum) and there is nothing wrong with doing janitorial work. People aren't entitled to a job they like. Shame on you.

    The shame is on you and your kind.

    Willing to destroy the country and economy and obstruct everything the president tries to do in order to win an election

    yeah...it's a good idea for kids to handle dangerous chemicals. You do know the injury rate for Janitors is very high.

    A lobbying firm that only lobbies GOP Presidential Administrations would explain his business strategy. Otherwise, he has a very bad business plan.

    This is true. But looking at facts and history we see that it is only true to various degrees.

    Looking at use of filibuster to block appointments and legislation etc. this congress and the GOP at this time is more guilty of it and have obstructed more than any congress in the nation's history. So while both sides do it to a degree, it has recently been taken further and done to a greater degree than ever before, and I don't see a problem pointing that out.

    That's just an ugly stat. No matter what the spin. Seems we're talking 8-11% by anyone's numbers with demographic and geographic pockets much much worse then this.

    I hate the partisan name calling. There's no 'good' in this for the president -- and it would be no better under (shudder) McCain. Studies about 'systematic shift' be damned. This need fixin.

    were McCain president, there'd have been no stimulus bill, and none of the uncertainty and additional expense caused by HCR. in addition, we'd have a coherent energy policy, spearheaded by Palin, that didn't play politics with the BP disaster, and allowed the Keystone pipeline to proceed, nor would we be waisting money on the Solyndras and LightSquareds and other FOB's

    things would be much better under McCain.

    it's like he's poking you with a stick mark. That last one didn't even pretend to be subtle. Not nice on a Friday afternoon.

    Merry Christmas all. Me thinks I'm out of here until the new year.

    I had to read it multiple times because my brain wouldn't process it the way he wrote it.

    I've been wondering do they ever take into account that a lot more women are in the workforce when comparing historical rates.
